MRS. EVAN POWELL

  Mrs. Powell, wife of Evan Powell, now living on a farm near Canoe Creek, 
but who formerly was a resident of this city, died at the residence of her 
brother-in-law, James Powell, of 1618 Seventh avenue, at 2 o'clock Sunday 
afternoon.  She had been sick for thirteen weeks previous to her death at the 
home of her husband and thinking a change would be beneficial to her health 
she came to this city and instead of getting any better she grew rapidly 
worse and died at the time stated before her husband could reach her bedside.  
Mrs. Powell was about 50 years of age and leaves beside her husband five 
children - three daughters and two sons - who are: Mrs. Annie Hutchinson, of 
Hagerstown, Md.; Mrs. Lydia Heffner, of this city, and Jennie who lives at 
home and Harry and Doll who also live at home.
